> Could someone share what the "Bahai" version is for the quote?
Dear Gilberto,
I found various similiar passages. Here is where it is found in
Baha'u'llah's Writings:
"Ye are all the leaves of one tree and the drops of one ocean."
(Baha'u'llah, Tablets of Baha'u'llah, p. 27)
And we have these passages from Abdu'l-Baha.
. The glory of God has proclaimed a cause that until now none had
heard. He addresses himself to the whole of humanity, saying: "O
people of the world, ye are all the branches of one tree, the leaves
of one branch, the drops of one sea."
(Abdu'l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 61)
Let this gathering be a foreshadowing of what will, in very truth,
take place in this world, when every child of God realizes that they
are leaves of one tree, flowers in one garden, drops in one ocean, and
sons and daughters of one Father, whose name is love!
(Abdu'l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 30)
O Thou Provider! The dearest wish of this servant of Thy Threshold is
to behold the friends of east and west in close embrace; to see all
the members of human society gathered with love in a single great
assemblage, even as individual drops of water collected in one mighty
sea; to behold them all as birds in one garden of roses, as pearls of
one ocean, as leaves of one tree, as rays of one sun.
(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p.
75)
Wherefore, O ye beloved of the Lord, bestir yourselves, do all in your
power to be as one, to live in peace, each with the others: for ye are
all the drops from but one ocean, the foliage of one tree, the pearls
from a single shell, the flowers and sweet herbs from the same one
garden.
(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p.
280)
warmest, Susan
